Discover the Little Things That Keep You Cozy
At Warmth and Weather, we know that true comfort outside isn’t just about coats and boots—it’s about the little things. The hats, mitts, scarves, and socks that make all the difference between a day cut short and an adventure that lasts.
From soft wool and wool/silk caps for little heads to durable mitts for puddle-jumping, every piece is designed to help children—and adults—experience warmth fully. Because learning to feel warmth is a lifelong gift, and every outing is an opportunity to nurture it.
Slip a hat in your pocket, tuck scarves into your bag, and pull on mitts when the breeze turns chilly. With the right accessories, spring and fall weather become moments to savour, not weather to endure.
Explore our collection of small-but-mighty essentials and make every outdoor moment warmer, longer, and more joyful.
There’s a quiet secret every parent will discover:
It’s not just the coats and boots that keep everyone comfortable outside.
It’s the little things.
- The hats that fit just right.
- The mitts for little fingers.
- The scarf you’re so glad you packed when the wind shifts.
- The socks that fit perfectly inside the boots.
Because as much as we prepare for the big weather, it’s the small, changeable moments that test us.
Warmth Is Learned
One of the most important truths I discovered early in motherhood is this:
Children don’t truly know if they are warm enough until around twelve years of age. Their bodies are still learning. We are their guides.
A simple check — feel their hands and feet. If they are the same temperature as the rest of the body, their core warmth reaches the extremeties If they’re cold, it’s time to layer up.
From birth, we help regulate their warmth. And by the time they can sense it for themselves, they will learn and carry a deep bodily knowing of what it means to be truly warm.
Warmth awareness is learned through daily experience.
And accessories play a much bigger role than we realize.
Spring Weather Is Full of Surprises
One moment it’s soft and sunny.
Next, the wind cuts through.
Single digits in the morning.
Milder by afternoon.
Layers help with this.
But accessories save the day.
Small, soft wool and wool/silk pieces that slip easily into a coat pocket. Light enough to carry. Strong enough to make the difference between staying out… or heading home early.
Hats
Warm heads truly do mean happier bodies.
A simple wool/silk cap can turn “I’m cold!” into “Let’s play longer.”
And when the temperature dips unexpectedly, a thicker wool hat keeps everyone steady and comfortable.
Buffs & Loop Scarves
Small but mighty.
These protect little necks — and grown-up throats — from sneaky breezes. Easy to pull on. Easy to tuck away.
We love the breathable wool/silk options from Pickapooh and the cozy wool loops from Disana.
Mitts
The true heroes of outdoor play.
We especially love the durability of BMS mitts — waterproof, hardworking, and ready for puddle splashing, forest exploring, and messy spring adventures.
We carry both lined and unlined options. The unlined pair beautifully with fleece or boiled wool underneath when extra warmth is needed.
Because sometimes it’s not the jacket — it’s the missing mitten.
Socks
Never underestimate dry, warm feet.
Wool socks work inside boots, inside sneakers, and even padding around the house while you’re still trying to get everyone out the door.
When feet are warm, the whole body can settle.
The Beauty of Small Things
These small-but-mighty pieces:
- Slip into pockets
- Weigh almost nothing
- Adjust to the weather
- Keep adventures going
They make the difference between cutting the day short… and staying just a little longer. Because in spring, especially, it’s rarely the coat that makes or breaks the outing.
It’s the hat you remembered.
The scarf you tucked in.
The mitten that stayed dry.
And that warmth — carried right to the fingertips. 💛
